You don't need that kind of gear to build a board like this. You just need a good set of EDA tools and to read all the datasheets carefully. Stuff like trace impedance and the performance of high-speed lines should be done in simulation tools before you ever send out the board to be fabbed. It's only in cases where people are really pushing the limits (networking gear, RF gear, for example) that high-speed physical measurement hardware is necessary.

A board like that, with a Spartan6 and ARM processor, is actually fairly easy to make work "out of the box" with minimal attention to pre-build simulation, as long as you carefully follow the datasheets' recommendations for signal routing, bypass, etc.
